is it against the law to force even one's own adult child, to continue living in a situation that causes that adult child sadness, due to domestic violence in the home, can that parent have charges brought against them?

I would need more information to directly answer your question, but as a general rule a person cannot physically restrain another person. The statute defines false imprisonment as when a person, in violation of the personal liberty of another, arrests, confines, or detains such a person without legal authority. So it depends on what "force" is being used. If the adult child is being pursuaded to live there, or just can't afford to move out, that would not be illegal.
